Gustav Mori was born at Frankfurt am Main; he was a German type designer who was the head of head of the department at the type foundry Stempel from 1908 until his retirement. As a collector, he owned more than 200 original typeface samples from various German type foundries from the 15th to the 20th century. Mori's collection of title pages, printer's devices, initials and specialist literature was donated to a museum he founded in 1940, but most of it was destroyed during World War II.
